The 4C's or How To Choose Your Perfect Diamond

Every Diamond is Unique

Each reflects the story of its arduous journey from deep inside the earth to a cherished object of adornment. Yet all diamonds share certain features that allow us to compare and evaluate them. These features are called the 4Cs.

As a creator of the Diamond 4Cs and the International Diamond Grading System™, GIA is not only a global authority but the world’s trusted source for an unbiased diamond assessment.

Diamond Color Actually Means "Lack of Color".

GIA’s D-to-Z diamond color-grading system measures the degree of colorlessness by comparing a stone under controlled lighting and precise viewing conditions to "masterstones" of established color value.

How Did the Carat Sistem Start?

The modern carat system started with the carob seed. Early gem traders used the small, uniform seeds as counterweights in their balance scales. The carat has the same gram weight in every corner of the world.

Diamond Clarity Refers to the Absence of Inclusions, Blemishes, and Imperfections.

While no diamond is perfectly pure, the closer it comes, the higher its value.

A Diamond’s Cut Unleashes Its Light

Precise artistry and workmanship are required to fashion a stone so its proportions, symmetry, and polish deliver the magnificent return of light only possible in a diamond.

Cut is what unleashes the “Light” within a stone. Cut is what gives the stone its ability to “dance”. Cut refers to the brilliance of the stone, determined by the quality and proportion of its facets. The interaction of the facets with the light is what gives the diamonds their unique sparkle and brilliance.

Polish refers to the quality and smoothness of each facet of the stone. Facets are the flat, polished surfaces on any side of the gem. Tiny defects, invisible to the naked human eye, can disrupt the light patterns as the light rays enter and exit the gem. Polish quality is measured based on the severity of those surface imperfections.

Symmetry is the precision of the alignment and intersection of the facets of the gem. It is what makes the “light” travel properly through the stone. Symmetry is judged based on the ideal proportions between all the facets of the gem, specific for each shape. Symmetry often has serious impact on price.
